White House Report: Climate Change is Here, Immediate Action Needed

2 years ago

The reports are in. Again. Climate Change is here and immediate action needs to happen. The White House released a new report on Climate Change earlier today, warning that the effects of Greenhouse Gases are already taking place and action needs to be made. We have already seeing record high temperatures in the summer and record lows in the winter with more and more instances of flooding, wildfires and droughts.

What's frustrating about this is that we have seen report after report for the past decade or so warning us of the effects of Climate Change yet this issue is still being debated as though the science is still unsure. The science is in and Climate Change is happening.

John Holdren, who directs the White House Science and Technology Policy, had this to say on the report:

"Climate change is not a distant threat. It already is affecting every region of the country and key sectors of the economy."
